Hello,
I am running out of storage. And that's when I went into My Files manager and opened storage analysis And I found that my "others" section is grown rapidly. Actually it was around 14 GB while I reset my phone(3 moths before). I always clear my ram and junk files. I cleaned my recycle bin too. But now it has been grown to 30 GB within 2½ months and does it seems strange?
 I don't know what to do in order to clean that others file plus I know that the system is already taking 10 GB out of my 64 (which is not actually 64 but 56 something ). Is there any idea in order to clean(without reset) or at least see that "others" section? 
Thank you

Others include rar files, iso files and every file other than audio, video, document and installation file.

This also includes the data and cache of downloaded apps, files downloaded from web, whatsapp chat backup etc.

and brother, it should be at least visible in my file manager app. Believe me, my maximum storage consumed by all sorts of files shown in file manager (I ticked to show hidden files) is only about 16GB which includes jpg,png,iso,rare,mp3,mp4,mkv .... etc. But my "others" shows 30GB

installation files are files with .apk in my storage. I dont have any of them because I have installed apps from the galaxy store or play store.
